Many people are eager to have a taste of the newly-released 100 yuan note, but their enthusiasm dimmed when they found the new one is not accustomed to the market.

A netizen from Changchun, Northeast China's Jilin province, explained that four 100 yuan notes he withdrew from a local bank were detected to be "fake" by a currency detector and were refused by an Automatic Teller Machine when he tried to deposit them, China Youth Daily reported.

A new 100-yuan bank note was released by People's Bank of China on Thursday. The central bank said that the new version is harder to counterfeit and easier for machines to read.
